That's a good idea... So you would suggest the m/d msf for a hi-light then? That's what I'm looking for, since I already have the blot. Thanks hun.

I'm confused. Is C7 equivalent to NC50? And why just the C and no NC?

equivalent to NC45 and the C stands for cool/yellow/golden undertones.
N stands for warm/pink/red undertones.

Mac's Face and Body and Studio Fix powder foundations come in C or N.
the C by itself means the product doesn't have a neutral base and maybe cooler/yellow/golden then NC.

No, they are different

I don't even try to mess with the NC45s and NC50s anymore. It's not worth it, because there is not enough olive/ochre mixed in there. I just use C7 in Studio Fix powders and use other brands for liquids/cremes. There aren't a lot of brands that match me well--a lot of times I'd be just settling or mixing stuff together, and that got old really fast. So I stick to what I know now so I can work on experimenting with colors.

To go even further with this, C is more olive than NC. So if you have a yellow/golden brown tone to your skin you are NC. If you have more olive to your skin, then you're a C. Cs are cooler than NCs (and are more rare, hence this thread).

Side note: A coworker actually suggested I use "Hazelnut" to describe my complexion because "Caramel" , "Mocha" and the other coffee euphemisms were inaccurate (I am not that golden/yellow like NC45s)...

I own Plastique lipstick, was given to me BNIB and I cannot for the life of me figure out a good way to wear it w/o looking dead.
How do you wear your, any particular liner or lipgloss to go with?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I Back to MAC it.

Thanks!

Is Springsheen a peachy color? Is it different from Peachtwist?

On me, Springsheen is not peachy like Peachtwist, it looks more golden/highlight-ish but not a stong gold color.
Very reflective but not glittery, has a beautiful sheen that is not too strong to wear in the daytime.
Once applied, it shows up gorgeously in the sun.

i've hit pan on this Springsheen twice, working on a third.

I'm a C6 but the summer has taken me up to a C7 and I love:

Margin blush, revealing lip glass, pinkarat lip glass, current lip liner, nc35 stuidio finish concealer, club e/s, ricepaper e/s, embark e/s and any viva glam lip stick.

 

[AdrianUT]

From Nars my favs are cordura eyeshadow duo, taj mahal blush, orgasm/albatross duo, and Gina blush

If you'd like to try somethings from Nars also.
